Home walking brace study to improve quality of life in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a home “walking exoskeleton” brace can improve quality of life for people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who have moderate walking problems. You would use the device at home, and the study team will check your walking safety and comfort during and after training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have multiple sclerosis (relapsing-remitting type) diagnosed using 2017 criteria and it has been more than 6 months since a flare or progression period.
- You are between 18 and older, live at home, and can give consent.
- Your disability level is in a mid-range (EDSS about 5 to 6.5).
- You need a walking aid, and you can walk with help for at least 10 minutes.
- You can follow the instructions (no major thinking/memory problems) and you can safely do moderate exercise; you should score above 20 on the Berg balance test.

This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton to help people with multiple sclerosis walk better and improve thinking/problem-solving. You would use the device during supervised sessions and take brief thinking and movement checks to see if it’s safe and helpful for you.
This trial tests whether the EXOPULSE Suit can help people with multiple sclerosis walk better. You will try the suit and we will measure how it affects your walking over time.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality exercises with a leg brace can help people with multiple sclerosis improve their walking and balance. If you have mild to moderate disability and can use the Exoband brace, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a home exercise program designed for people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve walking and daily function through simple, task-specific exercises you can do at home.
This trial tests whether daily use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can improve real-world walking and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. FES uses small electrical pulses to help weak leg muscles move.
This study tests a 12-week home-based balance training program for people with multiple sclerosis. Sessions are done online with a helper present, and the goal is to improve walking and reduce fall risk.
